From your method, I've nailed it down to a playlist called "slow", fid 1723 (6bb hex). I went in via ftp and deleted 6bb0 from drive1/fids, started emplode and synchronised, shut down emplode, restarted, scrolled down the list of everything (refs >=0), and the f***ing thing is still there and crashes emplode! What do I do now??? I'm nearly there, I know - it's so frustrating... I am very grateful for your help so far.
